Hopkins V Jones in February

[True Guru]

"Roy Jones Jr. revealed that Bernard Hopkins has agreed to a 50-50 split for a potential February rematch between the two living legends...with a wrinkle. If the fight ends in a knockout, the winner receives 60%, with the loser getting 40%."

So much for Nard only caring about his legacy eh?
Whats fighting a shot Roy Jones who was pimped slapped and embarrassed by Joe Calzaghe do for his legacy?

[Ch@mpBox@PR]

Oh boy!

this is gonna be a boring fight, they both going be doing head fakes all night... LOL

Roy has also confirmed this.

[djtmal]

good deal...hopkins had to save face after roy trumped him on the radio and in interviews....win or lose both guys should retire and let the young guns take over...

[Haglerwins]

I hope this is not true, I would've liked for Jones to have actually earned a rematch with Hopkins... I guess he did a good job getting under Bernard's skin if this is true.

Well, one thing this would do for Hop's legacy, is show that it ain't just fast hands that beat him. Even with most of Roy's attributes gone and after suffering embarrassing losses, people here are still picking Jones over Hop because of the fight in '93 and not anything recently significant.

It's a bit of a slap to his face. Here he his busting his ass beating the big names at over 40, and he can't even get the benefit of the doubt in a fantasy return match by many even though Jones had the biggest slide in the sport atm!

So far ONLY Roy has confirmed this,we all know from history that he talks a lot of ****.
Until someone else says otherwise I dont believe it.

Nard should fight Dawson or Adamek and then retire.

Agreed. I'm falsely convincing myself Roy's handspeed will still give Bernard trouble enough for Roy to win but what can I say, I'm a big Roy Jones Jr. fan.

When they were both young and athletic it was boring, I can only imagine now that they are both old.

[Grimmer]

I hope RJJ schools him.

[True Guru]

The point im trying to make is that a lot of people gave Calzaghe **** for writing in his book that Jones was shot to pieces only to do a dramatic U turn and fight him.
Well only a few weeks ago Nard said almost the exact same thing" Why fight a shell of Roy Jones who was pimp slapped by Joe Calzaghe"
They both look like they want to feast on shot Roy to me as they know its an easy payday.
